Based on your concerns, if it were me (your concerns are identical to mine) I would ask myself a few questions…how mandatory is it that I receive the award in person? Is it worth the risk of possibly getting any variation of Covid, and potentially dragging it around back to the airport, back to my home, my family, my community?
Personally I would pass, based exclusively on the indoor portion of the event with “lots of people” masking alone would not be enough for me personally.
